Apathy is not an issue here right now -- as divided as I have ever seen the country but also the most politically engaged.

That's good to hear, compared to the UK where apathy reigns. I wonder why the difference?  Got a feeling it may have something to do with the media who seem to widely ridicule and hold Trump to account, so voters think there's a chance to rid themselves, though I'm sure there's many factors at play.  Not so here where the Tories have got it all sewn up.

Good shout that. Trump only really has Fox News in his corner save for a few crackpot blogs. The Tories have basically everyone except the Guardian and Daily Mirror (such as it is),.

Imagine going to the lengths of running for, becoming and enduring the worst ever presidency, then having your name forever attached to failure, incompetence, corruption and nepotism long into the history scholars dredging up Inconsequential themes to eek out a biography so the kids can eat, just so you can have higher pressure shower heads.

 

Gotta admire the long game.

They're certainly not as timid as our BBC when asking questions of their leaders,

You would think that the President openly admitting to stopping people voting would be enough to get people of any political persuasion up in arms.

It's ridiculous how partisan people are that he can get away with this so blatantly.  Really demonstrates the depths that American democracy is at.
